FormatStore (Windows CE 5.0)
This function performs the equivalent of a clean format of the storage volume. This removes all partition information in the store.
BOOL WINAPI FormatStore(HANDLE hStore);
Parameters
- hStore
[in] Handle to the store returned from OpenStore.
Return Values
Returns TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE.
Remarks
FormatStore writes a new Master Boot Record to sector zero of the storage device, which effectively deletes all existing partitions. However, FormatStore does not actually write a file system format; to write a file system format, such as FATFS, call FormatVolume.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Storemgr.h
